Melius Research upgraded Advanced Micro Devices to Buy from Hold on 23 June, arguing that the market is under-estimating the company’s opportunity in graphics processors that power artificial-intelligence inferencing workloads.
The firm lifted its 12-month price objective to as high as $175—up from $110 in one widely circulated note—with separate market commentary pointing to a target of $211 from $135. Melius said investors are only "in the middle of a run" as the long-term earnings potential of AMD’s GPU business becomes clearer.
The bullish call sent AMD shares higher in Monday trading, extending a rally that has lifted the stock back toward last week’s highs. The move contrasted with a dip in rival Nvidia and a 7% slide in Super Micro Computer, which announced a $2 billion convertible-bond offering and saw its chief executive sell $13.5 million in stock.

Melius Research upgraded Advanced Micro Devices to Buy from Hold on 23 June, arguing that the market is under-estimating the company’s opportunity in graphics processors that power artificial-intelligence inferencing workloads.
The firm lifted its 12-month price objective to as high as $175—up from $110 in one widely circulated note—with separate market commentary pointing to a target of $211 from $135. Melius said investors are only "in the middle of a run" as the long-term earnings potential of AMD’s GPU business becomes clearer.
The bullish call sent AMD shares higher in Monday trading, extending a rally that has lifted the stock back toward last week’s highs. The move contrasted with a dip in rival Nvidia and a 7% slide in Super Micro Computer, which announced a $2 billion convertible-bond offering and saw its chief executive sell $13.5 million in stock.
